Chemical Peel / chemexfoliation
How does it work and who is it for?
Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off.
This process 1 reveals a new layer of skin that is smoother, brighter, and more 2 even in tone and texture.
Chemical peels can vary in strength, from superficial peels that exfoliate only the outermost layer of skin to deeper peels that penetrate deeper into the dermis. The type of peel used depends on the individual's skin concerns and desired results.
Chemical peels are suitable for individuals looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone. They are generally not recommended for people with active skin infections, open wounds, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Pigment Removal
Chemical peels are effective for reducing hyperpigmentation by exfoliating the outer layers of skin that contain excess melanin (the pigment responsible for skin color).
Different types of peels, such as those containing AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), BHAs (beta hydroxy acids), or other lightening agents, can be used to target specific types of pigmentation issues, such as age spots, sun spots, and melasma.
Skin Lightening
Chemical peels can contribute to overall skin lightening by removing the superficial layer of dead skin cells and revealing brighter, more even-toned skin underneath.
They can also help to reduce hyperpigmentation, which can further enhance the skin lightening effect.
It's important to note that "skin lightening" should be approached with caution and focus on achieving a more even skin tone rather than drastically changing one's natural skin color. It's also crucial to use sun protection after a peel to prevent further pigmentation.
Your Questions Answered
Is a chemical peel painful?
The level of discomfort during a chemical peel depends on the type and strength of the peel being used. Superficial peels typically cause only mild stinging or tingling, while deeper peels can cause more significant burning or stinging.
Most practitioners use cooling fans or apply a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. After the peel, the skin may feel tight, dry, and sensitive, and there may be some redness and peeling, which can last for several days depending on the peel's depth.
How many chemical peels are needed to see results?
While some patients may notice an improvement in skin texture and tone after just one peel, a series of peels is usually recommended for optimal results, especially for addressing concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or significant signs of aging.
The number of peels needed will depend on the individual's skin condition and the type of peel used. A series of 3-6 peels, spaced several weeks apart, is common. Maintenance peels may also be recommended to sustain the results.
